"My name," the man in white said with a calm smile, "is Mirov."
Liam didn't care. Not even a little. He wasn't in the mood for introductions or polite exchanges. He just wanted to rip the man apart. His hands twitched slightly, ready to move, ready to kill.
But before he could even take a breath, Mirov snapped his fingers.
It happened so fast that even Lilith, who was watching closely, didn't see it clearly. One second, Liam was standing there, wings half-spread and eyes sharp. The next, he was gone. Completely gone.
Everyone froze.
The world around them went quiet. Only the faint wind moved through the empty streets.
Lilith blinked, confused. "Where did they go?"
She tried to move, to sense Liam's presence, but she felt nothing. Nothing but emptiness. She looked at Lana, hoping she would have an answer, but even Lana looked lost.
"I don't know," Lana said, voice low. "They just… vanished."
